About TOKI to TOKI Ny Trano Fandraisam-Bahiny Japoney Nentim-Paharazana

TOKI to TOKI amin'ny endri-tsoratra sinoa dia midika hoe "vanim-potoana sy ora" ary ny mpamorona dia maniry ny hamolavola toerana mba hankafizana fotsiny ny fanovana amin'ny vanim-potoana raha toa ka mandalo miadana ny fotoana. Tao amin'ny efitrano fandraisam-bahiny dia napetraka teo amin'ny habaka malalaka teo anelanelan'ny toerana mba hankamamy ny habaka manokana ny olona rehefa mankafy ny sakafo sy ny serasera. Ny gorodona tazomoka vita amin'ny geometrika sy ny alàlan'ny jiro dia tarihin'ny ony sy hazo ony eo anoloan'ity hotely ity, ary mamorona rivo-piainana mahafinaritra. Tao amin'ny toerana misy ny bara dia namolavola ny kanto tsara tarehy voajanahary organika misy ilay mpamorona textile Jotaro SAITO.

Unique Properties: This traditional Japanese hotel “ryokan” is perfectly located in the central of Kinosaki onsen district near the station. Even though it is newly opened, this ryokan stands beautifully along the river as it had been there for long time. TOKI to TOKI in Chinese characters means “season and time” and we wish that this hotel will be the place for the guests to simply enjoy changes of the season while time passing slowly. The lobby on the first floor is a free space with self-service food space where guests can enjoy the delicious food and communication with other guests. We placed the mushroom-like stools randomly at relatively wide spaces in between in order for guests to cherish the space between them or just to enjoy the time by themselves. The upholstering of the stool is Nishijin textile designed by Jotaro SAITO. The geometrical shape tatami floor was made to order for this project and the pattern on created by the lights is inspired by river surface and shade of a willow tree in front of this building. Together, the tatami floor and the pattern by the lights create magical but relaxing atmosphere.
At the guest rooms, we designed unique bed backboard for each room inspired by the beauty exist in Japanese culture such as mizuhiki decoration, Japanese pine tree, moon and so on.
On the third floor, there is a bar space with the magnificent organic-shaped sofa. For the design of this sofa, we collaborated with textile designer Jotaro SAITO. By lavishly using his Nishijin textile like patchwork quilt to create the high-backed sofa, the bar becomes unforgettably and beautifully powerful.

Inspiration: The design concept was “miyabi” which means Japanese elegance. It seems loud but there is a refined sense embedded in the design. As we design, we came to understand “miyabi” we want to express in our design is the pomp and the fine quality that can elevate our mind.
